Enable Sharing

What is Sharing?

You can share any filtered view in DayBack, creating a public URL that matches the view you're looking at. This is a great way to send someone just *part* of your schedule, or to share plans with customers and contractors.

You'll eventually need a single user license of DayBack Online to enable sharing from FileMaker, but you can start with a free trial. After signing up, you'll receive a user-token by email that you add to DayBack for FileMaker to activate sharing in step 3 below.

Once your trial expires, a single-user license is $139 USD/year here. (You just need a single user license to enable sharing: this enables sharing for *any* of your DayBack for FileMaker users.)

3. Copy Your User Token

As soon as you've signed up for DayBack Online you'll be presented with your "user token". This token tells DayBack where to send your shared views. Copy this token to your clipboard.

4. Add Your User Token to a Script in DayBack

Open your DayBack for FileMaker file and edit the script "Load Calendar Settings - On Startup --- Edit Configuration Here ---". You'll see a section for "sharing" towards the beginning of the script. Add your user token to the variable "$$sc_DBKOUserToken" at line 16.

That variable was added to this script in version 5.99, so if you don't see it, revisit step 1 above and make sure you're using the latest version of DayBack.

5. Run the "Upon Opening" Script

Run the "Upon Opening" script again to see your changes take effect. This will activate the sharing menu and you can click "Share this View" to start sharing. Notes and tips on how to share can be found here: Sharing.

That's it!
